Pisa



On the way to Pisa we were of course on autostrade where they have lanes but don't use them and go about 90 mph and my dad is right there with them. Oh my lord was it a little crazy at times. We got to Pisa parked the car and found this wonderful suite down the road from the leaning tower. We settled in and it the streets towards the tower. First we had lunch at the street side restaurant next door. While we went to all there different restaurants and such we quickly realized that they dont get paid on tips as they do over here and also it is rude to give you a check. They expect you to sit there for hours and eat and drink while not when you have had a long day and your tired and then when you ask for the check it takes them another 20-30 minutes to actually bring it to you. There are also dogs and cats everywhere in the restaurants on the streets it was very strange. When we got to the tower my dad, little brother, and myself climbed all the way to the top which was very scary because you are walking sideways and you think the tower is coming down! When you get to the top there is a beautiful view of the town and our hotel and the streets.
